  • the device operates in the manner described below.
  • the plate 30 having been fixed under the sole of a shoe S, when the cyclist wishes to fix the shoe to the pedal, he engages the shoe S forwards in the toe clip 11, until it comes into abutment with the tip of the shoe against the shell-shaped front end of the toe clip 11, which positions the front of the shoe S longitudinally and vertically so that the wedge 32 of the plate 30 is perpendicular to the hook 19 and of the transverse bar 24, returned to the maximum position towards the front against the rear bar 7 by the springs 26 and 28.

  • the shoe S can be released by pulling backwards or backwards and upwards, as soon as the horizontal component of this traction is greater than a threshold corresponding to the value of the elastic return of the two springs 26 and 28, because, by such traction, the shim 32 pushes the bar 24 backwards, against the two springs 26 and 28. As shown in FIG.
  • shoe S can be released by an upward and backward movement, if the strap 15 is not mounted on the wedge foot 11; on the other hand, if the strap 15 is mounted, the release of the shoe S does not take place until after it has retreated over a greater stroke and such that the transverse bar 24 is pushed back more so that it comes to slide on the cam surface 37, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the lateral force at the heel is equal to the product of the reaction force necessary to move the bar 24 against a single spring and a coefficient much less than 1.
  • the threshold release by transverse torsion is much lower than the release threshold by pulling backwards.
  • the center of rotation of the shoe S in the event of transverse torsion, is situated substantially in the middle of the cam 32, behind the axis S of the pedal 1, and in the loop formed by the belt 15 of the toe clip 11, this belt does not constitute an obstacle to a torsional movement, because it is not pulled laterally.
  • To completely release the shoe S after triggering the fastening device by transverse torsion, release the shoe backwards.
  • This device therefore makes it possible to release the shoe S with very different force thresholds and in relation to the different directions of release envisaged.
  • Tests undertaken by the depositor have shown that if the force, measured with a dynamometer, necessary to trigger the device to release the boot by pulling backwards is 160 N, which allows voluntary release of the cyclist as well as a release in the event of a fall, a lateral force at the heel of 40 N is sufficient to release the shoe by transverse torsion, while an effort of 80 N must be provided in the event of a combined rearward traction and torsional movement, to pull the heel backwards and slightly oblique.
  • the shell shape of the front of the toe clip 11 does not hinder the rotations of the shoe S in the event of release by torsion.

  • the pedal can be fitted, at its front end, with a flange 111, directed upwards relative to the mean plane of the pedal, and forming an angle of about 60 ° with this plane.
  • This rim 111 is intended to serve as a wedge towards the front, the sole of the shoe possibly having a projection 112 towards the front, intended to come into engagement in the space 113 (FIG. 9) delimited by the rim 111 of reduced height.
  • the pedal 1 is advantageously balanced so that in the free state, when its axis 5 is horizontal, it takes a medium position (see FIG. 12) for which the abovementioned flange 111 is substantially horizontal in the high position. . The cyclist can thus easily find the space 113 by engaging his foot on the pedal.

  • the projection 109 comes to bear against the front surface 107, in the contact zone C located substantially at the mid-width of the plate. 30.
  • the point g located towards the inside of the plate against the bar 24, will push this bar 24 during pivoting around the projection 109.
  • the point g will describe an arc of a circle of relatively small radius d.
  • the bar 24 is slightly stressed at the start of the torsional movement and does not oppose significant resistance to slight angular movement on either side of the average position.
  • the spoiler 33 remains properly engaged under the hook 19 so that the risk of inadvertent "heaving" is reduced at the start of the pivoting movement where contact is made between the projection 109 and the face 107.
  • the contact area between the cam surface 108 and the surface 107 moves transversely outward so that the radius of the path of the point a increases. This results in greater stress and displacement of the bar 24.
  • the inclination y of the plate 30 relative to the mean longitudinal direction can be of the order of 10 °. Up to this angular position, the user did not have to develop a significant effort, because the bar 24 is slightly displaced.
  • the cyclist will be able to slightly modify the angular position of the shoe on the pedal, to find the correct position of his foot, without having to exert a significant effort and without risk of "heaving". Indeed, as long as the projection 109 is in contact with the transverse surface 107, the opening hardness in torsion of the device is low since the spring 26 or 28 is very little stressed.
  • the width of the front stop means Q which is substantially equal to that of the pedal, greater than the width L of the plate 30.
  • the effectiveness of pedaling depends, in fact, essentially on the longitudinal position of the foot on the pedal, while the lateral position or transverse may vary.
  • the ramps 103, 104 can be formed by rectilinear parts in which case the plate 30 pivots around the contact area C as long as the angular movement, under low effort, remains below the predetermined limit y. When this limit is reached, the entire ramp 103 or 104 bears against the surface 107. The point P, also bearing against the surface 107, becomes the pivot point.
  • the angle between the longitudinal axis of the boot in the middle position and this same longitudinal axis is designated by y when the boot is turned enough to reach the end of the authorized angular movement without significant effort and without risk of "heaving".
  • This position is obtained when the point P located outside the ramp 103 comes into contact with the part 105.
  • the ramps 103, 104 being generally straight and symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis, the angle y is then equal to the angles a and ⁇ ( Figure 10).
  • the angle y which corresponds in a way to the angular clearance authorized under low force on either side of the average position is of the order of 10 °.
  • a rear surface 136, for the wedge 32 the cross section of which by the section plane of Figure 13 (which corresponds to the section plane of Figure 10) has the shape of a V turning its point backwards, that is to say in a direction opposite to the point V formed by the bottom 101 of the groove 34.

These surfaces 136a, 136b can form with the transverse direction an angle substantially equal to the angles a and ⁇ . Thus, the surface 136a is substantially parallel to the ramp 103, while the surface 136b is substantially parallel to the opposite ramp 104.
  • the two surfaces 136a, 136b are connected to each other by a central transverse surface 136c whose width can be equal to three times 1, and in particular can be of the order of 15 mm to 20 mm.
  • the surfaces 136a, 136b are preferably symmetrical to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis.
  • the inclined cam surface 37 (FIG. 9), extending downwards the surface 36, also has a V-shaped cross section turning its point backwards, in order to extend the surface 136.
  • transverse adjustment of the plate 30 is meant an adjustment of the angular position of the mean longitudinal direction of the wedge 32 relative to the mean longitudinal direction of the shoe, generally obtained by means of tightening screws or the like. , cooperating with oblong windows.
  • FIGS 14 to 16 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the fixing device according to the invention and the associated pedal.
  • the sole of the shoe S has a region substantially flat at the level of the part intended to press the pedal, this region being extended, forwards and backwards, by zones of the sole convex towards the outside. .
  • the pedal 201 is in one piece. It consists of a hub 202 having a horizontal upper surface formed by a plate 51 intended to serve as a support for the region 50 of the shoe. This plate 51 projects forward and backward relative to the sleeve constituting the hub 202 itself. The rear edge of this plate 51 forms the hook 219 and the front stop means Q of the pedal.
  • the front edge of the plate 51 is integral, towards each of its ends, with two branches 52, 53 projecting forward, connected together by a transverse edge 54 and delimiting an opening 55 whose trapezoidal shape is clearly visible on Figure 15.
  • the branch 52, located outwardly relative to the crank 206 is slightly inclined relative to the longitudinal direction while the branch 53, located inwardly, is more inclined relative to the longitudinal direction so as to move away from the crank 206 in the direction of the edge 54.
  • the upper part 56 of the edge 54 is located substantially in the horizontal plane of this upper face of said plate 51.
  • the hub 202 is extended, towards the rear, by two longitudinal branches 222 comprising bearings for receiving the ends of the axis 23. These branches 222 are connected, towards the rear, by a crosspiece 57 in particular intended to serve as a stop at the ends 29 of the spring 28 engaged around the axis 23.
  • the parts 25 of the spring 28, according to the embodiment of FIGS. 14 to 16, preferably have a length such that the branch 24 is located slightly above the upper plane of the plate 51, as illustrated in FIG. 14.
  • the plate 230 integral with the sole of the shoe can be embedded in this sole as illustrated in FIG. 14.
  • This plate 230 can be formed by a metal or plastic part.
  • This spoiler 233 is intended to engage under the rear edge 219 of the plate 51.
  • the front stop means B of this plate 230 are similar to those of FIGS. 9 to 11, and comprise two ramps inclined towards the rear 303, 304 (FIG. 15) forming a V whose tip is turned towards the front.
  • the transverse groove 234, the bottom of which constitutes the above-mentioned front stop means B is limited, downwards, by the spoiler 233, and upwards by the lower surface of the sole of the shoe and more particularly the lower surface of the region 50.
  • the sole of the shoe bears directly on the pad 51 at a reduced radial distance from the geometric axis of rotation A of the pedal.
  • FIG. 16 illustrates an extreme position of this angular movement under reduced force; if the twisting movement of the foot is developed beyond the position shown in FIG. 16, a greater resistant force is exerted by the spring 28 as explained previously. The continuation of the torsional movement causes the "heaving".
  • the pedal 201 is no longer extended by a toe clip reported as was the case for Figures 1 to 12.
  • An additional wedge 58 fixed under the sole of the shoe, so as to be in front of the axis 205 of the pedal allows, when putting in place of the foot on the pedal, to come into abutment against the transverse edge 54. Then, when the fixing device is engaged and the plate 230 is clamped between the edge 219 and the transverse bar 24 of the spring, the wedge 58 is slightly behind the edge 54, as shown in figure 14.
  • This wedge 58 therefore does not intervene, during pedaling, to retain the shoe forward, and only serves to facilitate the positioning of the shoe when the foot is placed on the pedal.
  • the front edge 59 of this wedge has a V shape turning its point forward so as to allow the foot to rotate, as illustrated in FIG. 16, without this edge 59 interfering with the transverse edge 54 of the pedal .
  • the pedal according to the embodiment of FIGS. 14 to 16 can be made of molded light alloy.
  • the fixing device of the invention whatever its embodiment, allows a "heaving" towards the rear, by pushing the bar 24 parallel to the axis 15.
